If you pass it via the url line (GET method) you can referance it like this $HTTP_GET_VARS["session"] and $HTTP_GET_VARS["user"] Get the idea? $HTTP_GET_VARS["variable_name"] If you pass it via the POST method (with a form or some such thing) you can do it with: $HTTP_POST_VARS["variable_name"]; Now, thats a clean way of doing it. A slightly dirtyer way to doing it, that could end up with some variable scope problems is just to referance them directly ie: page3.php?session=1&user=555 session and user are stored in $session and $user respectivly. hope you understood that..its late and I shouldn't answer questions when its late..heh :) -- - James Atkinson 'Today is an illusion, it is but an echo of yesterday and a shadow on tommorow' http://www.totalgeek.org
